In honor of the 20 amazing years of the existence of Newgrounds, and this project that has been near and dear to my heart for going on 5 years now, I am making April 25th, Pico Day, the worldwide release date for The Newgrounds Writing Anthology e-Book.
If you guys are heading to NG Headquarters on the 25th for the party, I'll be there shoving a print copy of the book under each and every one of your pretty noses (assuming one nose per human) to get you to sign it. That's right, I want ALL OF YOUR HANDCOCKS!
You can preorder the e-book at any of these illustrious sites before the 25th: Amazon for kindle, iBook for iPhone or iPad, B&N Nook, Smashwords, KOBO
In 2012, members of the Newgrounds Writing community released what became Newgrounds' first print work of fiction to great acclaim. Now in digital form, the Newgrounds Writing Anthology has its sights set on the rest of the reading public. There's comedy, there's science fiction, there's meta-fiction, there's more... The Newgrounds Writing Anthology is a collection of short stories and poetry so diverse in genre and subject, description is rendered ineffable. Not for the faint of heart reader, The Newgrounds Writing Anthology features the work of seventeen authors from around the world, bound together by nothing more (and nothing less) than the desire to be a part of something good and creative, something in keeping with the Newgrounds call to arms: Everything, by Everyone.
Read for yourself.
With dazzling cover art by Jesse "Jouste" Turner. @jouste
Jesse made some incredible art for this book. Here's the front. For the back, you'll have to get the e-book.

You want our real signatures? Guess we have to put out usernames underneath where we sign...
Is there a changelog for the e-book, anything changed from the original printed version?

I was thinking of getting both? NG name in Parentheses maybe?
A changelog would be good. Til I get around to that, I'll let you know that I've tried to be faithful to the print edition.
* I've kept as much of the weird formatting in some of the stories as I could.
* Redid the copyright page to reflect the new edition
* redid the table of contents and included hyperlinks for each of the authors to their NG page.
* did more proofreading, fixed errors without dramatically changing the content
* put the cover art in the front and back of the e-book.
* rewrote a part of the Foreword.
I may be forgetting something but I did try to make minimal changes.
